The song is generally considered to be a satire of the Americanization that occurred in the early years after World War II, when southern Italy was still a rural, traditional society. The lyrics are about an Italian who affects a contemporary American lifestyle, drinking whisky and soda, dancing to rock 'n roll, playing baseball and smoking Camel cigarettes, but who still depends on his parents for money. It was also performed by Rosario Fiorello in the 1999 film The Talented Mr. The song was featured in the 1960 Melville Shavelson film It Started in Naples, in which it was sung by Sophia Loren.
